Probe Transcript No Aid To
Enemy; Solon Admits Error
WASHINGTON, May 5 (UP)
Chairman Richard B. Russell,
D.. Ga., of the Senftte Aimed
Ii Services Committee, said today
that none of Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur's published testimony
could be used by an enemy to
break the secret U. S. military
code.
Russell said he was in error
when he said Thursday that
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, "was concerned" about
MacArthur's quotations from a
Jan. 12 document of the Joint
Chiefs.
The auotations were passed by
the censors and appeared in the
published transcript of the Mac-
Arthur nearlnlg. ,
Russell had said previously
that Bradley telephoned him
and voiced alarm about publica-
tion of direct ouotes from the
Jan. 12 document because it had
been transmitted in code.
It is a cardinal security rule
that d" .intents once transmit-
ted I-' code are never thereafter
made public except in para-
phrased form. Enemy experts
could use a verbatim decoding
of anv slnjrle document to find
the Key to the entire U. S. cryp-
tographic system.
MacArthur's aide. Ma]. Gen.
Courtney Whitney, denied
Thrusday night that the gen-
eral's published^ testimony had
compromised the code. He said
the document from which Mac-
Arthur quoted had not been

transmitted to him In code.
Russell explained today that
he had misunderstood Bradley
and "it was not the Jan. 12 do-
cument" which was Involved.
Bradlev's concern, he said,
stemmed from the fact that
MacArthur read other messages,
which were originally in code,
at the closed hearings. These
messages were deleted by the
military censors and have not
been published.
Russell Indicated that Bradley
was unhappy about the presence
of verbatim decodlngs even in
the unpublished records of the
Committee.
Asked if Bradley voiced any
objections to the material which
was included in the published
transcripts, Russell said: "I did
not understand that he did."
Syria Repulsss
Israeli Unit
In Border Fight
DAMASCUS, May 5 (UP). A
Syrian military spokesman said
here today that an Israeli unit,
supported by artillery and mor-
tar fire, attacked Syrian forces
In the demilitarized border zone
near the Sea of Galilee this
morning, but were repulsed at a
cost of seven Israeli killed and 20
wounded.
He placed Arab casualties at
two dead and three wounded.
At the same time an Israeli
spokesman claimed the flareup
was touched off when the Sy-
rians moved one kilometer Into
Israeli territory.
He said this was the Syrians'
20th attempt in three days to
capture the strategic height of
Tel Mollta.
He said Syrian fighter planes
appeared over the area. "They
did not attack us and we there-
fore did not engage them."
It was the third outbreak of
fighting since the countries
agreed to a short-lived cease fire
yesterday.
Col. Bennet de Rldder of Bel-
glum, acting cWef of the UN Pa-
"e'stlne Conciliation mission, l*tt
immediately for his Beirut head-
quarters and said he would send
UN observers to the Syro-Israel
border.
Israeli army spokesman Col.
Moshe Pearlman earlier called
the cease fire agreement "full,
final an sincere."
Syrian and Israeli envoys met
Informally at the Daughters of
Jacob bridge on the border and
worked out an agreement which
according to the Israel version
provides:
1) There will be no Syrian
military or seml-mllltary forces
in the demilitarized zone along
the border and no Syrian inter-
ference in it.
2) The Syrians will not smug-
gle arms Into the zone.
3) The Israelis will recognize
the demilitarized one as under
the supervision, through not the
control ,of the United Nations.
Spokesman Pearlman said one
point of disagreement would not
be dealt with at present
the Syrian protest against Is-
rael drainage of land in the
Lake Hule area north of Lake
Tiberias, the Biblical Sea of
Galilee.
A UN official estimated the
casualties in three days of fight-
ing at between 50 and 60 kill-
ed and wounded.
Arrests Follow Run
On RP Savings Bank
BULLETIN
Police authorities this afternoon announced the ar-
rest of four more persons In connection with the run on
the Caja de Ahorro*. They were: Adolfo Benedettl and
Rontulo Escoban described as members of the Partido del
Pueblo; Carlos Ivan Zuniga, of the Patriotic Youth Front;
and another known only as Neftal.
Three persons two of them
professed leaders of the Com-
munist Partido del Pueblo were
known to be under arrest today
as an aftermath to the run on
the Caja de Ahorros (Panama
Savings Bank).
Those arrested were:
Cristobal Segundo L-, pre-
sident of the Partido del
Pueblo and an alternate
member of Panama's Su-
preme Court;
Hugo Victor, vice-presid-
ent of the Partido del Pue-
blo and a teacher at the Ins-
tituto Nacional; and
Manuel de Jesus Quljano,
son-in-law and former aide
to Ex-President Enrique Ji-
menez.
A spoke-wan for the Ministry
of Government and Justice sala
the arrests were the result of the
run on the bank "started by
tumors whose sole Intent is the
destruction of the economic
structure of the Republic."
The rumors, reportedly to the
effect that the Government had
demanded a huge loan from the
bank, spread rapidly throughout
the city yesterday and thousands
of small depositors flocked to
the bank.
Yesterday the bank was forced
to remain open five hours after
regular closing time to accomod-
ate depositors seeking withdraw-
al of their funds. This morning
agalns long lines filed into the
bank but the business of paying
all depositors, by means of extra
paying tellers, was carried out
smothly and without Incident.
The bank closed at noon with
everyone already paid off and
the management made an an-
nouncement that the institution
would reopen its doors at the
regular time on Monday to ac-
commodate any other depositors
who wished to withdraw their
savings. ,
Both the bank officials and
government spokesmen have vi-
gorously denied any basis for
the rumors.
Caja de Ahorros Manager
Guillermo de Roux issued a
statement that the bank was
completely solvent and fullest
confidence in the institution was
expressed by J. Edward Healy,
vlce-pretsdent of the Chase Na-
tional Bank in Panama. Healy
also promisee to go to the aid
of the savings bank, if neces-
sary, even to the extent of fly-
ing monev in> from the United
States.
President of the Panama
Chamber of Commerce Federico
Humber also came out today in
support of the bank. He said
the run was "completely unjus-
tified." adding that the bank
was "a completely solvent insti-
tution and fully capable of
meeting all commitments."
Probe Vienna
Killing Of
Gl By Russian
VIENNA, May 5 (UP) r- So-
viet and United States provost
marshal officials today started
a Joint investigation Into yes-
terday morning's fatal shoot-
ing of United States MP Cpl.
Paul S. Gresens by a Red Army
soldier.
The inquiry may be lemg. A si-
milar one in 1948 lasted six
weeks.
Gresens and Cpl. Jack Morgan
Keokuk, Iowa, who was making
his first patrol In Vienna's in-
ternational sector, were check-
ing night clubs about 12:45 a.
m. when they spotted two arm-
ed Russian soldiers walking
ahead of them.
The Americans followed the
two Russians to a square be-
tween a church and the Casino
Oriental night club, made fam-
ous by the film "the Third
Man." There the Americans
called "halt."
The Russians wheeled and
without a word on* of them
emptied his clip of 20 cartridg-
es at the MP's.
Official sources said both
.sides mayiuvM been partly at
fault, since the two Americans
apparently were unaware that
all four occupying nations are
permitted to maintain armed
patrols in the international
sector, a plot of land one mile
in diameter enclosing the old
city.
The patrols are supposed to
deal only with soldiers of their
own countries. In an Incident
involving nationals of two or
more countries, the Internation-
al patrol of all four powers is
called in.

United 8tates Department ad-

promised to try to have the
Jananese Peace conference held
In Tokyo.
WASHINGTON, May 5 (UP).
White House aide Donald S. Daw-
son said today President Truman
was "reluctant" to let him testify
before Senate RFC investigators
but has now decided he is "en-
titled to an opportunity" to de-
fend his reputation.
Dawson made the statement In
a letter to Chairman J. William
Fulbright, D., Ark.', of the Senate
RFC investigating subcommittee.
The letter confirmed what Daw-
son told Fulbright by telephone
Tuesday that he Is belatedly
accepting an invitation to testify
on May 10.
The subcommittee has named
Dawson as a key member of an
alleged "Influence web" which
influenced Reconstruction Fin-
ance Corp. loans to private busi-
ness,
Dawson, who Is Mr. Truman's
patronage adviser, said he sought
the President's permission "some
time ago" to appear before the
subcommittee.
"He (Mr.Truman) has been re-
luctant to grant this permis-
sion," Dawson wrote, "because he
feels that the Interrogation of
the President's personal staff by
Congressional Committees tends
to impair the Constitutional se-
paration of powers between
the Legislative and Executive
branches."
Dawson then explained that
Mr. Truman had agreed to make
an exception "In this case."

Dawson said.

committee plans to hear Dawson
in a public session at 10:30 a.m.
EDT next Thursday, unless there
is an expected conflict with Sen-
ate hearings on the dismissal of

Concentrated Milk
To Make Debut
On Local Market
A new dairy product, con-
centrated milk, is making Its
local debut shortly, The Pana-
ma American learned today.
It Is reported to be exactly
the same- as fresh milk but
will sell for less and In ad-
dition Is homogenized and cor-
talns vitamin D.
Concentrated milk, grade A,
is a product of Sealtest, pas-
teurized at the Clover Dairy
in Wilmington, Del.
A pamphlet on the new
product describes It as retain-
ing every food element of fresh
milk but with the bulk and
weight of water removed. It
Is prepared by adding two parts
of cold water so that each one-
third carton of concentrated
milk makes a full quart of
whole milk.
Concentrated milk from the
carton Is equal to coffee crear..;
the concentrate diluted with
one part of cold water produces
"top milk" for use on cereals
or desserts.
WASHINGTON, May 5 (UP) General Douglas Mac-
Arthur told Senators today that his Far East recommenda-
tions could be carried out without increasing the size of
the United States Armed Forces beyond the point now-
planned, and without the slightest prejudice to present
global commitments.
In his third day of testimony before the Joint Armed
Services Foreign Relations Committee MacArthur re-
fused to be drawn into what he said was a political con-
troversy over the Troops-for-Europa issue whea asked his
opinion on the sending of four or more United States divi-
sions to General Dwight D. Eisenhower's Atlantic Pact
army.
Senator Leverett Saltonstall, R., Mass., asked Mac*
Arthur if there were plans for going on with the war if the
United Nations forces were thrown out of Korea.
MacArthur replied that there was a plan which call-
ed for the moving of a mass of troops to Japan. Details
of what would have happened after that would have de-
pended upon "the action itself or upon directives I might
have received."
Saltonstall: "There were no directives?"
MacArthur: "There were no directives, sir."
Army Draft Call
For June (20,000)
Lowest This Year
Lull In Korea
Continues
TOKYO, May 5 (UP)The lull
In aggressive Communist activity
went Into Its seventh straight
day In Korea today as the Reds
massed strength behind the
front for new assaults.
' Sharpest action was when
tank-led United Nations task
forces probing the Red buildup
area above Seoul ran into stiff
resistance for the second straight
day.
Tank and infantry teams
probing No Man's Land on the
central and eastern fronts
found few Communist troops.
After a visit to the front Unit-
ed Nations Supreme Command-
er Matthew B. Rldgway said at
8th Army headquarters yester-
day:
"I find a very different situa-
tion than you generally find. You
know, the farther you go to the
front usually and every bat-
tle commander always says so
the better the spirit, the high-
er the degree of confidence.
"Now, this time, the degree of
confidence could not be any
higher back In Tokyo in the 8th
Army's ability under Lt. Gen.
James A. Van Fleet than it Is
right up there at the front.
'And up there it is complete-
complete confidence, complete
self-assurance in their ability to
handle anything that Is thrown
at them.
"In fact, the only uncertain-
ty I find anywhere In my mind
Is how long those fellows (the
Communists) are going to con-
tinue to put up with the empty
Communist promises to throw
us out of Korea and destroy the
United Nations army.
"So far the only things they
have succeeded in destroying are
a few tens of thousands more of
their own men, and so far as I
can see they are going to con-
tinue to pay the bloody price
they have been paying.
"Maybe some day these people
who are being used as cannon
fodder will wake up and listen
to reason. It's a tragic thing that
they have to sacrifice so many
tens of thousands of people and
continue to devastate this coun-
try for their own aggressive,
elfish ends."
WASHINGTON. May 5 (UP)
The Army has notified Selective
6ervie* officials that lt can get
'along with 20,000 draftees h
June because voluntary enlist-
ments have picked up sharply.
It was the lowest draft call
for any month since the present
rearmament program began, and
only one-fourth of the monthly
quota prevailing early this year.
The Air Force meantime an-
nounced that, beginning next
month, more than 40,000 women
will be recruited for the WAF
(Women in the Air Force) which
now has a ceiling strength of
7,000.
The Air Force said the WAF
recruiting program is being un-
dertaken under a Defense De-
partment policy of using women
in the armed services to the
greatest possible extent. The ex-
pansion will bring WAF strength
to 4.000 officers and 44,000 en-
listed women.
Wit'i the June draft call, the
Army will have taken In a total
o* 550,000 men through selec-
tive service.
The Air Force, Navy and Ma-
rine Corps have taken no draft-
ees so far and announced they
would not need any in June.
Spurred by the possibility of
being drafted, young men have
been flocking to Army recruit-
ing offices in recent months.
MacArthur, locked in a feud
with Defense Secretary George
C. Marshall, had been expected
to challenge Marshall's "Europa
First" concept which has domin-
ated United States foreign policy
for 10 years.
It was Marshall, as Army Chief,
of 81 a f f, who overrode Mao-
Arthur's plea hi 1942 to commit
the bulk of the then sketchy .
United States ground forces to
the offensive against Japan Hi'
the Southwest Pacific, then Mac*
Arthur's command.
With the late President Roose-
velt's backing Marshall Insisted
the big buildup should be in
Europe.
MacArthur contended that his
beleagured garrison on Bataais
had been "starved" into surrend-
er, and that his command had
received something less than,
five per cent on of United Stataa
military resources up to thafl
time.
Marshallthe most influential
of all Allied wartime generals*
was his target then as now.
Meanwhile the Truman Ad-
ministration remained silent an
the statement of Senator Wil-
liam J. Fulbright, D. Ark., that
Secretary of 8tate Dean Acheson
opposed MacArthur's dismissal.
Acheson. the White House ag
the State Department all refus-
ed to comment.
Previously officials had Indi-
cated that Acheson did not pro-
pose firing MacArthur, but went
along with Mr. Truman's deci-
sion.
These officials said the pro-
blem primarily was between
MacArthur and his immediate
superiors In the Pentagon.
Freight House Cashier Must
Stand Trial In District Court
Overruling a defense motion
for dismissal, Balboa Magistrate
Ralph Chlttick yesterday after-
noon ordered Mrs. Mina Dee to
stand brlal in the District Court
on two charges of failing to ac-
count promptly for government
funds.
The dafense motion, by attor-
ney Woodroow de Castro, wai
made for both charges on the
grounds that as cashier for Uw
Panama City freight house Mrs.
Dee was not required to account
for any particular sums she had
received until the end of each
month and that this accounting
was done In the Republic of Pac-
ama.
On one charge alone, De Cas-
tro asked dismissal on the
grounds that payment had been
made In check, that the check
had been cashed and was jack
in possession of the payee and
that no part of this money had
been wltheld.
During the long hearing, chief
Inspector J. R. Williams testified
that Mrs. Dee had said, during
questioning in the District At-
torney's office, that she had ;.!-
tered receipt* given for freight
storage and had made refunds to
the consignees on the order of
"little white slips of paper,"
signed with the Initials of Enil-
que de la Ossa, Agent In Panama
for the Panama Railroad.
She was unable, however, to
produce any of the Initialed slips
of paper or to locate any of the
consignees to whom she said "he
had given the refunds. Williams
also testified that he had made *
personal search In offices of the
freight house without locating
any such pieces of paper.
The Governments case waS
handled by Assistant District At-
torney Kay Fisher. 8he presented)
six witnesses: Baldlr Singh. An-
dres Ardlnes. de la Ossa. John C.

liams.
In an opening statement to
the court, an unusual procedure
in a preliminary hearing. Mrs.
Fisher outlined the government*
case, as she later developed i
by the witnesses. Through tne
six witnesses the government
showed that on Dec. 21. Ardlnis.
a truckdrlver had gone to the
freight house to pick up frelgn
for Valencia, owner of a Panama
luggage store.
Mrs. Dee figured the charges
due and Ardlnes presented Va-
lencia's check for $35.20. The
freight was turned over to Ar-
dlnes for Valencia and nelt'-ef

Soviet-Zone (Germany
Chokes Free Trade
by EDWARD M. KORRY
SATURDAY, MAT 5, 1881
LEIPZIG, May 5 (UP).Priv-
ate businessmen here in the
Russian zone of Germany say
they can hold out one more year
at the most before Communist-
run cartela swallow them and el-
iminate free trade In Eastern
Germany.
Owing to the present Soviet-
Inspired campaign for a united
Germany and for trade betweon
East and West Oermany the
East German satellites are chip-
ping away at the free enterprise
trade structure rather than blow-
ing it into oblivion.
The methods used are much
the same as those used by the
Soviet satellites against indepen-
dent farmers by heavy taxa-
tion and the use of production
and supply quotas.
Heavy and other essential In-
dustries are already either com-
pletely or at least 75 per cent
nationalized.
Private firms are for the most,
part limited to consumer goods,
light Industries and the retail
trade.
Communists here point to their
five year plan, which calls for
a 88 per cent Increase In pro-
duction from the private trade
sector, to prove that they have
no Intention of shutting out free
enterprise.
But these are the facts;
1) Discrimination against priv-
ate firms In the supply of raw
materials was reported by every
private firm I interviewed;
2) A three per cent turnover
tax and high corporation taxes
had weakened the financial
structure of most businesses, tut
the crusher came when the Com-
munists asked for Capital Im-
provement taxes retroactive to
1945. Many firms paid high
prices for equipment to get back
into business, and they are now
being taxed on these costly im-
provements;
3) Profit Is limited to 15 per
cent fo.- merchants, exclusive of
three per cent turnover tax.
Businessmen have said repeat-
edly: "We are just running out
of money and we cannot noia
out UU next spring."
Window displays in this show-
case city are better than at any
time since pre-war, but retail
merchants say they cannot se;l
their displays because It is their
only stock on hand. .
In contrast the new State-
run retail organization in East
Germany the Handels organ-
ization is to be seen every-
where.
It deals In every retail Item,
owning restaurants, food shops
and department stores.
They are tindercuttlng private
dealers.
Their stocks are far better
than last year, and they are un-
dercutting private dealers.

"What is a forcing pass?" asks
a correspondent. "I can under-
stand a bid being forcing, and I
can understand a pass snowing
weakness. But I cannot under-
stand a pass tnat is strong
enough to force the partner."
The term "forcing pass" Is usu-
ally applied when both sides have
bid up to a high contract. In this
kind of situation, a player often
Is In doubt whether to double for
penalties or to go on. Sometimes
he can afford to pass and let his
partner decide. Such a pass is
called a forcing pass.
Even experts sometimes mis-
read this type of bid. A much-
discussed case took place in the
Masters Individual Tournament
of 1960, as shown In today's hand.
West felt Justified in reopen-
ing the bidding when two hearts
was passed around to him. He
was quite right, of course, since
his side could make four spades.
Curiously enough, however, South
could take 11 tricks at hearts.
West bid up to four spades
slnglehanded, but then properly
decided to pass over five hearts.
It was quite possible that his
partner had enough defensive
strengt hto double this bid.
Actually, East had a nearly
worthless hand. He failed to real-
ize that West's pass was forcing.
It was Inconceivable that West
could bid as he had without be-
ing willing to sacrifice at five
spades against a vulnerable game
in hearts. West's pass clearly said
"Partner, double five hearts if
you have some defensive
strength. Otherwise, make a
further bid m spades or clubs."
In short, the pass forced Bast to
take some action, and East was
very wrong in passing.
South easily made five hearts,
for a score of 880 points. Had
East gone on to five spades, his
side would have lost only 100
points.

DR. JAMES G. TOWN8BND. (above center) Chief of Field
Partv for the Point Four health and sanitation program, ar-
rived In Panama this week. He will begin the work outlined
in the basic agreement -signed between Panama and the Unit-
ed States on February 26, 1651.
He is shown above during his first official act after ar-
rival which was a courtesy call on Dr.'Carlos N. Brin, Min-
ister for Foreign Affairs. (Left to right), Joseph J. Dempsey,
Public Affairs Officer of the American Embassy; Ernest C.
Jeppsen, Acting Chief of Party, Institute of Inter-American
Affairs; Dr. Townsend; Murray M. Wise, United States Charge

. Dr. Townsend has had long experience in the field of
health and sanitation both hi the United States and abroad.
Ho began his work with the Public Health Surveys In the
southern United Btates where full time health departments
were established. During the first World War he was in
charge of Cantonment Sanitation Programs In the various
military camps. Later he went on tour as Supervisor for
the War Risk Insurance Bureau, now known as the Veterans
Administration.
Dr. Townsend spent 1923 and 1924 in Puerto Rico making

demiology of Influenza. After completing his report, he was
sent to Hamburg, Germany, and Naples, Italy, In the interest

vice.

Arms Embargo
Against Red China
Proposed By U.S.
UNITBD NATIONS, N. Y., May
5 (UP)The United States has
proposed an arms embargo
against Communist China "so
that no soldier In Korea should
be the target of a bullet manu-
factured in the free world."
The plan was outlined at a
private meeting of the United
Nations Sanctions Committee
and American delegate Ernest
A. Oross said It would be em-
bodied in a formal resolution
earlv next week.
However, it was reliably re-
ported that there was consider-
able opposition among some of
the 12 committee members to
taking such a step against the
Pelplng Government at this
particular time.
The plan for a "strategic em-
bargo," as explained by Oross at
a news conference following the
meeting of the sanctions com-
mittee, calls for:
An embargo on arms, am-
munition and implements of
war, petroleum, atomic energy
materials, and Items useful in
the production of arms, am-
munition and implements of
war.
The U. S. still had some con-
vincing to do to get some of Us
major allies to go along with the
embargo plan at this Juncture.
Specifically, it was reported
that Britain. France and Can-
ada were dubious about the tim-
ing of the U. S. proposal though
probably not against it in prin-
ciple.
Oross emphasized that many
her face were made by a self-
cutting (sharp) instrument.
The wounds could not have
been inflicted by the iron grill
of the canal sluice gate, he add-
ed, "nor were thev inflicted by
any marine life In the canal.'
The child's missing ear like-
wise could not have been sever-
ed by a turtle or fish but was
cut off cleanly with a sharp In-
strument.
The Richmond County sheriff's
office and Augusta police are
working together to find the
killer or killers of the child.

m "Right now the best horse in the bunch is Eddie Arcaro," the
trick handicapper was saying yesterday, "and that's how the
J^ople are going to bet. Wait and see.''
- Arcaro lias been called many things in his day but this is the
tjrst time I have heard him identified with the horse family. Un-
doubtedly he comes from good solid stock but there is no record

What the man means, of course, is that this threatens to be
,. mediocre field and that any horse Arcaro ridesit will be
kttle Mornmoves up sharply on the reasoning that he is the
st jockey in the game today. '
But just being the best jockey is not enough. He has to have
aome kind of home under him, preferably one that can and feels
ltKe running. This game is pretty much like baseball in its basic
Jdtmands. Even when Connie Mack was good he finished last seven
ttaight times
Arcaro has become something of a Derby institution. People
are inclined to bet him like they used to bet any horse Ed Brad-
ley, the old gambling man, started. Like he wat home free. And
the little Kentucky-born Italian, fruit fanciers call Banana Nose,
has come through for them four times. He's the winningest of
el' Derby Jockeys.
What the bet-Arcaro guild fall to remember is that the young
fellow has been on more losers than winners. His record is four
for 11. Because of his pre-eminence Arcaro virtually has his pick
Hi Derby starter^. As a consequence he's astride the people's
choice. To be specific, nine of his mounts went to the post the
favorite, one was second choice, another fourth,
w. Two Derbies back, Arcaro picked Olympla. The combination
looked like money from home. The public practically wrecked the
machines betting it. Olympla went off at odds on tless than even
jBoney) and came back, after an interminable wait in sixth
see. That was the afternoon Ben Jones put over Ponder at in
one. Remember?
Of modern jockeys, Earl Sande ranks next to Arcaro out
Bfre, with three wins in eight tries. Three times he was out of
itu- money, and once, his first try, he was dead last. Unlike Ar-
rorr, though, he never lost on a favorite and in 1923 he booted
Zev home at 19 to one. That was the year the winter book put
i cnul on the suckers. Didn't pay off.
."* It goes without saying (Ed: Then why say it, Wms?) that
a good jockey gives the players an edge, yet the casualties among
name jockeys out here have scarcely been negligible. Even ap-
prentices, youngsters hardly dry behind the ears, have taken it
all. Ira Hanford on Bold Venture in '36. Bill Roland on Middle.

"~ Wuite a few name jockeys have found the Derby beyond
Uifu best efforts. Either they lacked the horse or the luck. You
etaii't hear much about Laverne Fator these days, yet he could do
Bre with a horse than Lily Pons can with an aria. He had four
ts at it and didn't come close.
! The only reason the great Fator didn't finish last in '32 was
wat a thing called Lib Limited broke down on the back stretch.
Bit was Fator was a red-faced 19th. This race, by the way wag

Ming for him that day. The other one, Burgoo King, won.
* On two earlier occasions Fator thought he had Derby mounts
tuB due to circumstance! over which he had no control lost them.
Hey eventually went to Sande and both won. Fator had to pass
W Zev because the stable to which he was contracted ran
horse in New York the same day. Same thing happened in the
Flying Ebony race.
-----Sonnle Workman never won out here. Neither did Georglt
Wooll. Both crack jockeys- Wool! had a particularly unattractive
record, being in the money only once in seven starts, and twice
lie was last. They were turning on the lights in downtown Louis-
ville when he finally got' back with Bradley's Billionaire In '37,
30th in a 20-horse field, actually beaten by 40 lengths. That
night the native hard-boots switched from bourbon to carbolic. It
toeing said there is a difference.
Ted Atkinson will be going for the Downs, to quote the
broadcasters, this Saturday. His record is 3 for Oh. In '49 he
JSgsrd Ponder home to be second, first time he'd been In the
'torwiey. He'll be up on Greentree's Big Stretch, John Campbell's
rap horse now that Uncle Miltie and Battlefield have been with-
drawn. And he's much better than a green-hand.

Srancing thoroughbreds was en-
ered for today's 77th running of
the classic Kentucky Derby, and
at least 21 of them are expected
actually to run in America's blue-
ribbon horse race.
Tills almost certainly will be
the dichest Derby of all times.
Even if only IB go, the winner
would get $97,050 breaking
the record of $96.400 earned in
1948 by Assault. And the purse
goes up $1,000 for each horse
over 19 that parades to the post
at 4:30 p.m. iCDT>.
The weather forecast was for
clear skies after showers late
yesterday and a lightning-fast
track. That meant that only two
horses probably would pull out
before the 3:46 p.m. scratch
deadline today leaving 21 to face
the rose run before 110,000 per-
sons.
The entries range from the
favorite, Battle Norn (bearing
Jockey Eddie Arcaro as he
shoots for his fifth Derby vic-
tory) to The (link, one of the
many odd-named horses en-
tered and one of the longest
shots In the field at 40 to 1.
In most overnight lines, Battle
Morn was made a 4 to l favorite
with C. V. Whitney's classy pair
of Mameluke and Counterpoint
the second choice at 5 to 1. The
Churchill Downs track handicap-
per. however, refused to go with
most of the experts and listed
the Whitney entry as a 3 to 1
favorite with Battle Morn the
second choice at 4 to 1.
Fanfare, Calumet Farm's hope
or a fifth Derby victory and
ralner Ben Jones' candidate for
his sixth triumph In the big race,
and Qreentree Stables entrv of
Big Stretch and Hall Of Fame
were listed at 8 to 1.
Following them came King
Ranch's Sonic at i to 1. Repetolre
and the field, which will be made
up of seven horses if all 23 run,
at 10 to 1.
Count Turf, Bernwood, King
Clover, Kings Hope Pur Sang
and Phil D. were put in the bet-
ting mutual field, but that Is eub-
iect to change. If any of the
hree long shot coupled entries
scratch, Count Turf will be tak-
en out of the field and given a
separate number.
The ChurcbiU Downs price
maker explained he put such
formidable horses as Count
Turf and Bernwood In the field
because he dislikes to put any
entry in the mntuel betting.
Mrs. Rmll's Denmark Ruhe was
IS to l and Mrs. Wallace OUroy's
Timely Reward at 30 to I.
Sruizeles, coupled with The'
O i nk as the Brown Hotel entry:
the Peavey pair of Anyoldtime
and Sir Bee Bum, and the Wil-
son entry of Royal Mustang and
Oolden Birch were listed at 40 to
1.
Trainer Joe Puckett announced

WASHINGTON, May 5 (UP) Gen. Douglas Mae-
Arthur said yesterday that only a few weeks ago Defense
Secretary George C. Marshall was willing to discuss giv-
ing Red China Formosa and a seat in the United Nations
in any Korean war negotiations.
The general told Senators investigating his dismis-
sal that the Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up a series of re-
commendations as a basis for possible peace talks with
the Communists.
These recommendations specifically excluded the For-
mosa and UN issues, but on these two points the Joint
Chiefs were overruled by Marshall, MacArthur said.
MacArthur declared that the loss of Formosa to the
Chinese Communists would push the American defense
line in the Pacific all the way back to the U.S. West Coast
and "might invite a third world war." ,
"I think the position of the Joint Chiefs of Staff coin-
cides very closely with my own on Formosa," he added.
MacArthur defended his right
to speak out publicly against
President Truman's Korean war
policies and said any other
course would mean adopting a
Russian "gag rule." He said of-
ficers uncier his command al-
ways had the right to express
"honest opinions" contrary to
his policy.
The general indicated that he
believes his dismissal by the
S) President Truman was
talking "tommyrot" when he
told a news conference that
MacArthur had barred the Cen-
tral Intelligence Agency from
operating in Japan until the
agency's chief, Walter Bedell
Smith, went to Tokyo to appeal
the ruling. MacArthur said he
gave CIA every cooperation.
Mr. Truman made the state-
ment after being told that Mac-
President will play a big part I Arthur had complained because
the CIA had not warned him
that Communist China might
enter the Korean war.
As the Democratic questioning
proceeded, Sen. Estes Kefauver,
D., Tenn., said he thought the
In the 1952 Presidential elec-
tion. He said a military man
who falls to perform his duties
Is ''subject to removal," and If
an Administration falls to con-
duct itself satisfactorily, "every
four years we.have a referen-
dum."
MacArthur said Secretary ot
State Dean Acbeson asked Mar-
final differences between Mp-
Arthur's position on the <
East and that of the Joint Chie*>
of Staff will be "less than it ap-
of Staff In the Philippine cam-
paign to write a Senator a let-
ter criticizing the conduct of
military operations and for us*
In a "big debate" in Congress.
"Certainly." MacArthur re-
plied. "I can't tell you how many
times my staff has disagreed
with me not only privately bus
publicly. The only thing i ever
required was complete honesty
of their opinions/'
MacArthur told the Senators
he does not consider Russia an
enemy in the Korean war. al-
though the Soviets are supply-
ing the Chinese Reds and kepg
a military mission with the
North Koreans in the early days
of the war. He said he knows
of no Russian fliers operating
with the enemy.

MacArthur said he would
be "glad" to have a cease
fire in Korea at any time
on honorable terms. But he
considered recognition of
Red China and tumin; For-
mosa over to the Commun-
ists as "appeasement."

mately by the UN. Thl* country
has opposed transferring China's
seat from Chiang Kai-shek's
Chinese Nationalists to the Reds
who now control all of China
except Formosa.
MacArthur told the Sen-
, atora "one of the gravest
mistakes that was ever
made" was to permit Russia
to occupy Port Arthur and

1945 Yalta conference. He
said he never was invited to

added that their Judgment al-

court of public opinion" and the
people have a right to hear op-
posing views.
MacArthur said the immediate
effect of Formosa's capture by
the Communists would be "col-

Japan and our withdrawal" from
those areas. He said the big Is-

MacArthur replied that he con-

"I understand completely,"
the general said tartly, "that
the totalitarian and Soviet
method is entirely contra-

muzzle certain segments of

ise thatPresldent Truman was right and things will begin to i

thing, that Is, for having waited too long In recalling MacArthur

become a controversial figure, and had MacArthur been wise
enough to heed the well meant advice concealed In that friendly
remark, he would have spared the Nation much embarassment and
useless controversy. .. ,. ,
New that the General is home and bat been given the not-
ou welcome dne great heroes, the people should let the Issue
alamar twn and tern to other and more Important problem*
before this thing gets out of hand.
It is granted that MacArthur had every right to defend his
avowed policies once he had committed himself and the issues ap-
pear to Justify his action up to a certain point. However, it Is be-
lieved that the general should have submitted a written report to
a Special Congressional Committee and after the report had been
given due consideration by the Committee, such recommendations
be made as would seem advisable or as circumstance might indicate.
Recommendations either that the charges be dismissed en-
tirely or that the general be tried by a Special Court Martial to
determine whether he might be guilty of direct disobedience of
orders or had brought discredit upon the fimlitary service through
his alleged policy-making statements when discussing Far Bast-
em affairs. .,!*._..
If found guilty of these of other serious cnarges, he should
then have been summarily dismissed from the military service the
same as any other soldier, regardless of rank or grade, or previous
military record.
Any man wearing the uniform of the Armed Forces of the
United SUtes is bound by oath of allegiance to defend our country
against all enemies whatsoever, and to uphold and defend the
rights of the people and to obey the laws of our country, and to
abide by the rules and regulations contained In the Articles of War.
Whu* It an not be said that all military men are Incapable of
making unbiased decisions when serving In an advisory capacity,
It Is still doubtful whether they are considered capable of making
the policies that would affect the future well being of our country.
The French people are widely known for their hero-worship
and have tried war heroes and military men in their Government
at various times, resulting in many unstable Administrations.
For a while the French people changed premiers as often as
some people change their shirts. *
It has been suggested that MacArthur run for President of the
United Stotes. Many of our simple peoples would vote for him,
should be choose to run.
But a majority of the American people do not want a military
man in the White House at any price, because we are not ready
to accept a dictatorship, even for the appeasement of an injured
military hero.
MarfyBdom isMnsufferable in this day and age, and the senti-
ment that transforms otherwise normal men Into martyrs Indicates
stupid mass reaction rather than clear thinking by collective in-
dividuals.
As a military commander, MacArthur has served his country
long and well, having been actively engaged In some branch of
military service for more than a half-century. Much of this service
was done outside the territorial United States.
It is generally believed that he Is one of the best Informed mil-
itary men on matters related to the Far East. For that reason he
was given the Korean assignment.
This- may prove an unwise decision, since things haven't
ion* toe well. To say that the general has erred in his Judgment
in f "ftMg the Korean situation is to put it mildly.
Whether the fault rests entirely upon the shoulders of Mac-
Arthur has not been determined, but someone has blundered se-
riously.
When the U. N. forces went Into Korea it was believed that
they could halt aggression and discourage further Communists
alms toward world domination, it would appear that they accom-
plished what they had set out to do when the North Koreans were
driven back across the 38th parallel. Had the U.N. forces stopped
there for a while, perhaps there would have been no further troub.'e.
The die was cast when the green light was given to cross into
North Korea. It would appear that serious mis judgment by im-
petuous field Commanders caused U.N. forces to probe too far north
and this was to bring the Red Chinese into the conflict.
Whether this might have been considered a violation of Instruc-
tions or possibly the result of misunderstanding has not been de-
termined. It Is believed, however, that MacArthur was of the opin-
ion that the decision* was his to make, in that he was in charge
of military operations in that area and therefore directly respon-
sible for the prosecution of such measures as would lead to Un-
successful termination of the military campaign in Southern Korea.
This might have constituted direct disobedience of orders,
but since tullir seemed to be going well at the time nothing
was dene about It. Ml
Be that as it may, the damage is done and many thousands
of good men have paid with their lives since the yellow hordes of
Red China poured across the Yalu Rivet.
We had been duly warned by chou En-lai, Foreign Minister of
the People's Republic of China, that they would not stand idly by
while U.N. forces moved into North Korea.
Evidently people In high places did not believe that to cross
the 38th parallel would bring the Chinese into the struggle.
Actually, it was was not too clear what should have been don.-,
but on the spot planning seemed to indicate that to move into
North Korea was to follow-up such military advantage as had been
gained up to that time. The move was probably, intended to pre-
vent the North Koreans re-grouping for another attack on South
Korean forces.
But it went even further than that, Inasmuch as it was clearly
not the perogatlve of the military to make a purely political de-
cision at the risk of offending Red China.
The military situation in Korea has grown steadily worse, un-
til we have become pretty deeply Involved.
The outcome remains uncertain and unless something can be
done to salvage what military advantage as has been gained, we
may soon have to make the dread decision whether we are to fight
the People's Republic of China on their own grounds north of the
Yalu River.
The permanent military gains seem a rather poor exchange for
the osses in human Ufe. since attrition has been particularly heavy

What torture, deep in the un-
derground Soviet political pri-
son cell, warped Robert Vogeler
Into a man who sobs and shakes
convulsively who cannot talk,
even to his children, forfive
minutes at a stretch without
weeping?
For security reasons, the
State Dept. has urged the
ex-Soviet MVD prisoner not
to talk until the govern-
ment sees him through a
hospital rest cure. But, from
a man who su/fered the
same searing o) mind and
body in a Communist dun-
geon, comes the details of
the torture techniques used
to smash the will of once
jree men.
- This report on wrecking a
mind comes from forces work-
ing underground in Europe
with the AFL's anti-Commun-
ist headquarters on the conti-
nent. Documentary evidence
that this is the truth is In the
hands of the AFL's national
leaders and now carelessly bur-
ied in United Nations' archives.
We have it from this man
who served In Soviet prisons
that each type of torture has
its special name "the candle"
... "the swallow"., "the high
seat"., "the humming top"...
"the mock execution."
But be/ore these tortures
comes a weird period o/
sweating out the *horror of
unexplained arrest, the al-
most suffocating, toilet-
stenched cell, stuffed with
ISO or more humans. There
are the eerie nights which
prisoners spend in distort-
ed postures, with one man's
feet on another's face. Then,
after six or eight weeks
the questioning. But take
it in the AFL contact's own
words:
"I was generally summoned
at night. I had to stand at at-
tention before my investigator
until dawn. When this proved
of no avail, I was transfer p.d
from prison to a basement M^D
cell. When I insisted my Inno-
cence, they began beating me. I
fell down and they proceeded
to kick me 'confess and we'll
even my Ufe."
stop' ....
"I could not walk back to my
cell without help. Later, came
various forms of torture. Each
has a special technical name."
Here, then, is what was suf-
fered by this man whose name,
for his family's sake, the AFL's
International Committee must
keep secret:
TJjere is "The Swallow." Dur-
ing this treatment, the prison-
er must stand on one foot,
stretching the other leg far be-
hind. The body Is bent forward
with hands held upwards. Any
movement brings a crack from
a rubber truncheon.
There Is "The Candle": The
prisoner stands immobile for
hours at a time.
There is "The Humming Top":
The prisoner is suspended from
the celling with a special belt
and whirled around rapidly for
several minutes. Then he's let
down. His eyes pop. He's dizzy.
He can't stand on his feet. The
room swirls and voices shoot
questions at him, seemingly
from out of another whirling
world.
There is "The High Seat": The
prisoner Is put on a tall, nar-
row stool about six feet high.
There Is no support for either
arms or legs. He must stay
there despite repeated slugglngs
and beltings by revolver butts.
There Is "The Mock Execu-
tion": The prisorler, after some
of these tortures, is led out to a
darkened corridor amid talk
that since It's all no use, he
might as well be killed.
Suddenly, he's thrown
into solitary confinement.
Life crawls on in darkness
for months, perhaps years.
Somewhere, the mind begins
living in a shadowland
world, waiting for suggest-
ions since its body has been
conditioned by beatings and
wrckings after each fail-
ure to obey. Finally it obeys.
The prisoner confesses.
Inexplicably, this prisoner was
released. He made his way
eventually to the AFL's roving
representatives In Europe. And
he told them:
"I came out an Invalid with-
out teeth and with eyesight
permanently Impaired. Before
iiy release I had to sign a pledge
that I would tell no one of my
experiences with the MVD. Not
even my wife."
And that's what brings dark-
ness at noon to strong men's
minds. Sometimes the torture Is
more refined. Sometimes the
body dies first. But always to
the name of the "people's revo-
lutions."

Where Are We Going?
By BOB RUARK
----- n
NEW YORK. The one thing that has be-
come painfullv plain.to us common folks, since
the General came home, Is that we have been
entangled In a Joke war In Korea a bad and
tragic joke made doubly tragic by the fact that
the men who have suffered and died in It are
lust as dead as if their sacrifice meant some-
At this writing I have no way of knowing
what the MacArthur hearings will bring forth.
But from his own words, in his first speech, we
certainly have been fighting no war, if a war s
prime aim is victory. The Korean conrilct. has,
rather, more resembled a grisly game of squat
tag.
There has been tremendous sacrifice of life.
American and South Korean, In pursuit of no
real point that I can see. The troops surge and
seesaw back and forth, pull and haul with-
out, to date, any concrete objective on our side.
If the original aim, as stated when we first
went into the Korean mess, was to protect the
South Koreans from their nasty neighbors and
to deter aggression all over the world, then we
have flopped horribly. We have protected the
South Koreans bv using their home terrain for
a bloody tug of war that never resolves In a
winner. We have been like firemen, wrecking
the Joint In order to salvage nothing.
Our young men have died with their hands
tied, to date, and thev have died largely with-
out the satisfaction of knowing what they were
dying for. I suspect the average American of
average patriotism is willing to die to defend
his country, or to defend an ideal Involving
others. Dying aimlessly Is more silly thari not.
If we started out with an Ideal In Korea
something happened to it during the political
tuggllna of a war. It Is difficult to fight en-
thusiastically In a battle that has no logical fin-
ish, where there is no close prospect ot win-
ZZ.------------ 'I
ning. Our stand in Korea has been roughly
comparable to the mythological character who
was condemned eternally to roll a boulder up
a never surmountable hill.
It seems to me we prove little to the Russians
bv merelv catching, then waiting for the next
fresh pitch. There are a lot of Chinese across
the Yalu probably enough to keep coming for
the next hundred years or so. We have not de-
terred aggression, for sure. We have merely
made it painful as painful for us as for the
aggressors, rather like pulling your own dentist s
teeth after he's finished with yours. We have
not avoided war with China.
Up to now nobodv has ever accused Gen. Mac-
Arthur of defeatism, but If I hear him rightly
he regards the Korean campaign as a waste of
time, money and men, as it has been fought to
date. He has made the terrible accusation that
Washington has no policy, really, concerning
Korea a horrid condemnation of political
blunder and cynical waste of manpower.
I am no military tactician, certainly, but I can
see that In time the troops and the taxpayers
will wearv of stories concerning flights from
and defense of Seoul. And God knows the peo-
ple who lived In and around the town must be
sliehtlv weary by now.
It seems to me that we have about two courses
left to us. after a year of cruel fighting. We
either win it or we lose it, but we do not keep
fiddling with It, because we are fiddling with
the Uves of our men and the feelings of their
heirs. To win. it means to hit it with every-
thing we've got, in all the ways we know. To
lose, it means we wrap up and go home, licking
our wounds and counting our losses. Apart from
the two cleanlv defined alternatives, we are
dealing in nothing but military double talk
double talk that Is written In blood. And to
date nobody can deny It's been a double talk
war.
Matter Of Fact
By Stewart Alsop
MACARTHUR. TAFT, AND EISENHOWER
WASHINGTON. It Is perfectly obvious that
Sen. Robert A. Taft has bet his political shirt
on Oen. Douglas MacArthur. And at least for
the present, the bet seems to be paving or
handsomely. ..__ _
At first, Taft inclined to take a rather cau-
tious line. But now, after consulting with Mac-
Arthur in the General's sanctuary in the Wal-
dorf Towers, Taft has criticized Defense Secre-
tary Oeorge Marshall and he has lambasted
Oen. Omar Bradley and the Joint Chiefs of
Staffs, who are much more dangerous MacAr-
thur antagonists than President Truman. He
has called for "a more aggressive war against
china." And he has stated that we cannot
hesitate to adopt the MacArthur program sim-
ply because we fear that the Russians mignt
come into the war."
For a man who was not long ago opposing
the North Atlantic pact on the grounds that it
might "provoke" the Soviets, this Is going pret-
ty far. The fact that Taft has gone so far
must be considered in relation to the fact that
Taft is an active candidate for the Presidential
nomination so active that Taft workers are
afcsady "ning up delegates in pivotal states like
Massachusetts. Thus It is only reasonable to
assume that Taft Is counting on hto all-ut
commitment to MacArthur to lead to his own
nomination, and to the final triumph of the
Taft wing in the inner struggle within tne Re-
publican party. .i..__. v,.
Taft mav be right. So far. two things have
happened. There have been some muted mo-
lests from Republicans of the strige of Sen-
ators Morse. Duff, and Saltonstall But by and
large, the Republicans in Congress have lined
up solidly much more soUdly than on any
other foreign policy issue behind Taft. This
has been a major victory for Taft. .
This in turn has markedly reduced the
chances of nominating Dwlght D Wf^wer
on the Republican ticket, a* the JMpuUlcan
backers of Elsenhower in Congress somberly
a*ree. This has been another major victortor
Taft. for the obvious reason th^Eisennower
has been the chief obstacle to Taft nomlna-
U0It"is true that a new obstacle has been erect-
ed t least bv Col. Robert McCormlck of the
Chicago Trtbune. It *u" nW0Sk"
Vnnw Taft's private reaction to Mccormicxs
sXstTon t'h.tTalt should take second place
on a ticket headed bv ^.^^"IrJSum-
fact. it is hardly conceivable that the epuDi
cans should nominate a man who *ouW be al
most seventy-seven years old at the end of na
fl,Thus"rmhe M^Arthurcrislswould seem at
first glance to be a tremendous bonanza for
Sen. Taft. But It mav not work out this way
In the end. Much depends on how Gen. Mac-
Arthur, who has not been accustomed to an-
swering searching questions, answers the very
searching questions which embattled Democrats
on the Russell committee are asking him. Much
depends also on what Marshall and Bradley
who are by no means without a public follow-
ing have to say to the committee. Advance
hints from the Pentagon Indicate that they will
be not bitter, but outspoken.
Finally, a great deal depends on whether Gen.
Elsenhower Is called home to testify. The
chances seem a good deal better than even that
this will happen at some point during "the
greater debate."
Elsenhower Is of course too sensible to attack
Oen. MacArthur or even to criticize openly the
course MacArthur advocates. But his mere pre-
sence would underline the greatest weakness in
that course. It mav seem nonsense to label
"Isolationist" a policy which calls for "a more
aggressive war against China." Yet the adjec-
tive is accurate In the sense that this course
would isolate us from all our major allies.
Thus MacArthur (who never mentioned our
European allies in his speech) stands for the
idea that allies are not essential, which is cer-
tainly one reason why he Is acclaimed by Taft
and all the former isolationists.
The political strength of the MacArthur-Taft
program derives from the fact that everyone
wants to end the Korean war, by winning it.
But Its weakness Is that no one wants to end
the Korean war by starting a much bigger one,
which we should have to fight alone If only be-
cause our allies are not .yet prepared to defend
themselves.
Elsenhower, whose great mission Is to help
prepare our allies to defend themselves. Is the
very symbol of the idea that this country's al-
lies In Western Europe are vital to our existence.
Elsenhower's return to testify would serve as a
very powerful reminder of the weakness In the
course uroposed bv MacArthur and embraced by
Taft.
Here It Is well to remember that. If the public
opinion polls are to be trusted at all, Elsen-
hower has a political following which dwarfs
Taft's and even MacArthur's. It Is well also to
remember that. If Elsenhower were prepared to
accept It. and Truman to offer It. Elsenhower
could have the Democratic nomination on the
traditional platter. This Is something which the
Republican leaders, posslblv Including Sen. Taft.
are not likelv to forget in their moments of
sober reflection.

WASHINGTON.There has been a significant and slneere
difference of opinion regarding full and open hearings for ithe
MacArthur testimony.
Sen. Dick Russell of Georgia has been anxious not tohave )
anything come aut of the hearings that would In any way give
aid and comfort to the enemy. Everyone else agrees with* him
en this.
Not In agreement, however, are all the military men In the
Pentagon. Some of them feel that such a hearing would_tart
an extremely bad precedent in making public military mistakes
of the past. This feeling is not shared by all. Oen. Omar Brad-
ley, for Instance, has believed in putting the cards on th*tsrble
no matter whose errors it shows up, Including bis own. 3
However, it has been a traditional policy among the mijltkry
for 100 years or so never to make public the battle errors, of
war. For Instance, the files on the mistakes of World War I newer
have been open to Congress or the public, nor of the Spanish
American War, nor even the Civil War. This Is because It is de-
finite military policy that the tragic blunders of the top brass
should not be publicized. It Is considered bad for the prestige
of the service.
General Bradley has come nearest to publicizing these blund-
ers In his current biography In which he tells of the failure, of
Gen. Johnny ("Court House") Lee to keep the Normandy inva-
sion supplied with munitions. He also tells of Lee's Insatiable
desire for grabbing swank hotels for his officers while the G.Ia
slept where they could.
I reported part of this story during the warnamely, how
General Lee had taken over the swank George V Hotel in Parla
for himself, and how his supply lines got so snarled up that
Gen. Thomas Larkln was ordered to make a special investiga-
tion. However, the official reports of the War Department have
never told this story and probably never will. ,
KOREA'S ERRORS
1 .1
Likewise, the tragic mistakes of the Korean war never have
been told officially. It has never been disclosed, for instance, that
when Gen. Edward Almond and the late Gen. "Johnny" Walker
were racing toward the Yalu River Just before our tragic -De-
cember defeat, there was no battle liaison between them.
This failure was considered so dangerous by the Joint Chiefs
cf Staff in Washington that a special warning was cabled Gen-
eral MacArthur to set up communications between his two field
commanders. However, he never heeded the warning.
The two commanders continued to operate, in effect, without
speaking to each other. ,
Possible explanation was that General Walker was a-lleu-
tenant general In command of the 8th Army, and outranked Al-
mond who was only a major general. However, General AJmdnd
was MacArthur's Chief of Staff In Tokyo, had been quite closs
to him, and was sent from Tokyo to command the lOth-Corps,
which, although not actually an army, was almost of equival-
ent size.
And for reasons best^fcnown to MacArthur, Almond was not
placed under the direct command of his superior, General Walter.
Instead, he reported back to Tokyo. This would not have bfen
so serious, had not Walker's forces started off at a nonthwesb
angle toward the Yalu River, while Almond's forces started J*l-
most straight north. ,
And as they fanned out in two different directions with i no
communications between, the Chinese adopted the objious and
easy tactic of advancing Into the vacuum.
Once the Chinese got on our flanks and partly behind bur
lines, the position of both the 8th Army and the 10th Corps
became untenable. This was one of the Inside reasons for the
disastrous retreat of last November-December.. ___.

The 8th Army retreated 120 miles pell-mell without making
a stop. In some cases, It unhitched heavy artillery, leaving than
10 the ehemy without even a pretense of a fight. This was [no
reflection on our men. The error was with the command. 'No
prepared positions had been set up In the rear, perhaps bWatose,
there was not the slightest expectation the Chinese would in-
tervene.
Furthermore our troops were not overwhelmed by superior
numbers, as played up in the headlines at that time. Whlle_C|tn-
eral MacArthur was Issuing press communiques about a Cnnjese
force of 1,000,000 men. his own dispatches to the Pentagonjfs-
tlmated Chinese strength at only 285,000 men, plus 150,000 N{ftb.
Koreans.
Another serious error the military doesn't like to talk about
now was the failure to spot Chinese troops building up on UK
sides of the Yalu River last November. Five thousand he
were brought across the river, which should have been fairly 1
for army intelligence to spot, but MacArthur's intelligence fi
to report them _____ _.__ S
DROUGHTPROOF CROPS
Most Important experiments in modern agriculture In ye>re
ere being conducted at the Government's research laboratorjiat
Beltsvllle, Mo.
Beltsvllle scientists, though cautious in their .comment, bfll-
cate that they are on the scent of a sensational discovery, Sat
may make farm crops droughtproof.
Briefly, the scientists are developing a chemical, spray tSst
makes plants capable of holding moisture for prolonged periods.
This Is done by regulating their cell growth.
The spray is a variant of 2;4-D, the weed-killer. If perfected.
It will be as great a boon to plant life as "miracle drugs to
human beings.
Some success already has been achieved In experiments with
snap beans, which hold moisture four to five days longer when
treated with the new compound. When Beltsvllle researchers are
surer of their ground, the tests will be extended to other farm
ctops.
KEFAUVER CRIME ROW
A staff row over the Kefauver crime report simmered all
week behind closed doors. The report was written by Mc
Ploscowe of the American Bar Association, an outsider call
a-fter the investigations were over, and who dished out sui
on crime In Chicago, Detroit. Miami. St. Louis, Los Angeles
Kansas City without consulting the committee experts wha
the real Investigating.
Senator Kefauver had to make last-minute changes to sal
those who weren't consulted.
There was also some Irritation at chief counsel Rudy

spent $74.000 and had 39 on the payroll in New York con-
to an average of $4.000 to $5.000, plus two or three Investigators,

It might be unwise to show any great concern about wnat ine
Chinese have north of the Yalu River. Probing into this area mignt
provoke Russia to send large ground forces and to lend greater air
support to Communist China. We must be doubly careful about
further mistakes, the kind of mistakes that might lead to a mira
Regardless of who makes the mistake, or whether it U labeled
Diplomatic, Political, or Military, the total result would be the sam
to any ot the aggressor nations, since they would be willing to label
any offensive action as being 'American' without stopping to con-
sider suggesting any special names for such offence. w,
Let us assume tha whaever he Peoples Republic of t-nma

s they keep It there.
